Cyathea medullaris, popularly known as the black tree fern or mamaku, is a large tree fern up to 20 m tall. The trunk is covered with hexagonal stipe bases. C. medullaris is distributed across the south-west Pacific from Fiji to Pitcairn and New Zealand.
I spent a very pleasant two hours in the good company of these tree-ferns (Cyathea capensis) this morning, tweaking my composition, clearing away dead branches, and waiting for the best light.
The sky was lightly overcast which created this lovely soft-box effect... with no harsh highlights or deep shadows to make the details difficult for me to capture.
I honestly couldn't think of a place that I'd rather be... than in the Knysna forests.

Auf dem Ballenbühl habe ich in den 80er Jahren einige Zeit gewohnt; war auch keine schlechte Zeit.
Taken in Columbus Belmont State Park, TN. Really like how the limbs on the tree look against the night sky.
I'm not a big fan of winter brown, but leafless trees do have some charm of their own revealed only when their leaves are gone... I think this is Osage Orange bark but any confirmation or correction would be appreciated.
On a very cold quiet little lane by Old Winchester Hill looking across the South Downs. UK. I didn't want this to be too stark and contrasting, I wanted the tree to vignette into the sky.
Cold and warm collide. Frosted branches complete with the last drops of autumn warmth and colour beneath this mightly oak on a frosty and foggy December morning in Somerset today.
Not sure I've really done it justice here, but it's a great old tree. One of my favourites. I love how it clings to life depsite being completly hollow on this side.
The Tree: One of my best friend. I have seen many beautiful sunset just sitting beside it.
